For years, the colorful and striking 1954 Red Heart Dog Food set was deep in the shadows of major collectors, but the recent surge in regional issues has shot this set into the upper tier. One third of the set features HOFers with Ashburn SP (NM), Lemon SP (NM), Musial SP (EX), Snider (VG), Schoendienst SP (VG-EX), Spahn (EX), Kiner (VG-EX), Kell (EX), Fox (EX), Mantle (EX), and Slaughter (NM), with the five remaining SPs grading as follows: Martin (VG-EX), Kluszewski (EX), McDougald (VG-EX), Rosen (VG-EX) and Erskine (EX). The rest of the singles grade along similar lines as the stars with most grading in the EX range with a handful better.
